In response to overwhelming demand, Google and OpenAI have implemented restrictions on the number of AI generation requests allowed for their products, Nano Banana Pro and Sora, respectively.
Bill Peebles, the head of Sora at OpenAI, announced that free users are now limited to six video generations per day, citing the strain on their GPUs. Peebles did not specify if these changes are temporary but noted that users can purchase additional generations as needed, indicating a shift towards monetization.
Meanwhile, Google has reduced the free user limit for Nano Banana Pro from three to two images per day, as observed by 9to5Google. The company warned that these limits may change frequently and without prior notice, especially after popular product launches. Additionally, Google seems to have imposed restrictions on free users’ access to Gemini 3 Pro.
